WELCOME TO REEF MONITOR

 

 A crucial component of this project is its video and photographic documentation.  The value of such a record is many-fold - it permits dissemination of the findings well beyond the scientific community, serving as a universal educational tool.  

Our videos are available by either of the following methods:
1.) Follow this link to the Reef Monitor Project Playlist on youtube.com and view our latest project videos. Follow this link to the Future of Wildlife Playlist on youtube.com and view our latest videos about animal population control.
